Transcriptome data for HEK293T cells depleted of one subunit of DNA-PK complex: Ku70, Ku80 or DNA-PKcs.

DNA-PK is a heterotrimeric complex that consists of Ku70 (XRCC6), Ku80 (XRCC5) and DNA-PKcs (PRKDC) subunits. DNA-PK complex is a major player in DNA double strand break (DSB) repair via non-homologous end joining pathway. This process requires all of DNA-PK subunits. Ku70/Ku80 heterodimers firstly bind to DNA-ends at DSB, that increase affinity of DNA-PKcs to DNA-ends. Recruitment of DNA-PKcs subunit to DSB leads to phosphorylation events near DSB, recruitment of another NHEJ-related genes that restore DNA integrity. However, today a lot of evidence demonstrate participation of DNA-PK components in other cellular process, e.g. cytosolic DNA sensing, apoptosis regulation, cellular movement and adhesion. It is important to note that not all subunits of DNA-PK complex are necessary for these process. This demonstrate the independent functions of DNA-PK subunits. Here we for the first time using NGS-sequencing analyzed the transcriptional changes in HEK293T cells under depletion of Ku70, Ku80 or DNA-PKcs to characterize the independent functions of each subunit. Transcriptome examination of HEK293T cells with Ku70, Ku80 or DNA-PKcs monoallelic knock-out treated with siControl, siKu70, siKu80, siDNA-PKcs to additionally reduce proteins level.
